It is useful, but not as a HTML::Template replacement... The real strength of
HTML::Template is loops <TMPL_LOOP NAME="a_loop">, which loops through a array
of values, repeating the HTML code produced (useful for tables etc.) and
conditional code <TMPL_IF.., <TMPL_ELSE.., <TMPL_UNLESS.., all of these can be
nested within each other, and can be hidden in comments so HTML validators won't
complain about unknown tags.
<TMPL_VAR NAME="something"> is easy to implement using some replacement rules, but
the rest requires some more parsing of the given template to find out what belongs
to what..
